Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been so lucky to have stayed with amazing hosts on Couchsurfing over the past two years, and now that I finally have a place to myself, I can pass on the favor.

Interests

People watching, asking questions, climbing on things, reading books, writing poetry, riding trains, seeing abandoned Soviet buildings

Music, Movies, and Books

Let's talk in person. I get too excited to share in writing. But most recently:
Movie - Some Like It Hot
Music - The soundtrack to Reservoir Dogs
Book - Loaded question... I study English Lit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiked alone in Mangystau region! From Aktau, I went to Sherkala, a giant rock formation that may or may not have been an ancient fort depending on who you ask, and camped there for a few days. Blue skies, grazing camels, crumbling cemeteries, no humans for miles.

Also that incident in the mountains of Dagestan.

Teach, Learn, Share

As I spent one year between ages 17-18 travelling alone across Central Asia, I'm happy to swap my travel stories for yours!

I can ballroom dance with you and would love to share or learn absolutely anything.

What I Can Share with Hosts

There's nothing better than a good chat with a stranger. I can also make a dessert using any ingredients and knit you things.
